under the turrets or if you trust the Torp for a deep under the keel shot...don't shoot too far under.

I will try. Seems the manual is a bit off on the draft of the ships.

No its just the magnetic exploders dont really work too well. Out of all the torps I've put under the keel I've only ever seen one break her back, and it was a DD to boot too!

I'd go for impacts, better chances of hits and a sinking.

Good places for a hit are below the bridge ore the aft structure.

The fewest hits to sink an IJN BB was 3 on Kongo.

Course, she was the only IJN BB sunk by a sub. Yamato and Musashi each took a couple and steamed on.

As another reality check, the fewest hits to sink an IJN CA was 4, though 4 didn't always sink them. If it were me, I'd sink a smaller ship she is in company with (like a CL).
